I was so fortunate. After helping set up drums and sound, these cats invited me to play harmonica for 2 songs. Ottawa Park. I was 15 years old. Thanks. Great upload..
I was 7 in 1972 and still remember how big a hit this song was!! This was a mamoth of a hit and if I had to be in a one hit wonder band, this song would be fine with me!
Check out the rest of their catalogue if you can. Talent-wise, as far from a one hit wonder as you can get. Brilliantly fun and raucous albums with a perfect mix of blistering covers and original material. Yeah! and School Punks in particular are easily two of the greatest boogie rock albums ever recorded.
Their manager was my neighbor. Gave us one of the 1st press vinyls. I remember one day there was a loud explosion in the basement and he and his GF ran over and asked if WE were okay.
When I was in 9th grade way back in 1976 our teacher gave his different classes the assignment to go out and create a project by filming and or taking photographs and choosing a song to put with it.Smokin In The Boys Room was ours we won the competition with our little video we even got the principal involved coming into the Boys Room with his paddle raised above his head pretending to catch us Smoking . This was 5 years before MTV hit The airwaves. I sure wished I would have known you could make a lucrative career out of that kinda of thing.
These guys were awesome. I would have loved to see Brownsville Station on a double bill with Slade. That would have been some high-energy, transatlantic power trio dynamite.
BS -NEVER- 'not-rocked' ... saw the 4-man version (tony driggins, bass) play to 50 people in a HS gym and they delivered like 5000... I never saw better.
One of the coolest bands and coolest songs of the 70s.
I was in the audience in Burbank when this was taped. It was great!
Miss you Cub, you rocked! H-Bomb on the skins too!
Near and dear to my heart, we sang this anthem during our misspent school year of 1973 in the boys room while we smoked, ha.
I saw them at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago 1970.

I was 8 and remember! Such a great song and memory!
Kings of the Party hit the lower top 40 as well.
The original & the best!.
They recall that era well - and a timeless classic of a tune. Prehistoric Punk, perhaps. Was a time when bands were moving away from the hippie stuff.
Right well said man
Had this as a kid on a K-Tel record. The second half of the guitar solo (from 2:15 on) is so perfect for the song...
You are soooo right👍 ..I've still got that vinyl 😊
Sound Explosion?
That’s the record I had with this song on it. And I still have it! I had a lot of those K-tel records lol
@@Trouble-Clef hahaha that is too funny...very cool I've got it in my hands right now
@@Trouble-Clef ...lol I've played it so much I'm surprised that the needle's I've gone tru haven't cut the track out completely LMAO 🤣🤣
That was pretty rockin.

Cub was a highly underrated guitarist.
My buddy Fang, me and Paul, Mark, Smitty, Drake...
I forget who they toured with, but I saw them in Toledo Sports Arena in 72'

Hopefully some of those guys made some💲& retired From Motley Crue 🎶 Version! Sold Millions 💲

Does anyone see a resemblance to Geddy Lee in the lead singer?
I was thinking the exact same thing, Michael Cub Koda does bare a little resemblance to Geddy Lee.
I thought it was just me
Looks like Donnie Iris to me but yeah I see some Geddy in there.
Cub Koda himself!
hard rock 🖤🤘
The seventies.
To get caught with Shirley be the death of us all.
is the entire audience on sleeping pills
Killer SONG ALERT, CRANK IT UP!!! M.O'B
The lead singer looks like Geddy Lee with glasses
Wait what this song isnt Motley Crue
This is the original version
the lead singer is dressed like referee
Same as his guitar.

Mötley crüe was better
Drummer is on coke.
